RIO Grand Fly Line by RIO

With today’s fast action graphite fly rods, a fly line that’s a little heavier (almost half a line weight) sure helps you feel your rod load for longer casts. RIO has also added some magic pixie dust to their formula to make this weight forward fly line float higher and last longer.

The RIO Grand® is an all-around line with distinctive state-of-the-art technology to benefit the trout fly fisher.

The line and tip float extremely high due to AgentX™ Technology in the line and Super Floatation Tip™, RIO’s proprietary manufacturing processes which gives the RIO Grand maximum floatation.

The weight forward taper is one half size heavier to load the faster modern fly rod, yet it gives a smooth light delivery of even the smallest dry fly and the rear taper is long enough for roll casting.

RIO has included a welded loop on the front end of the fly line to facilitate changing leaders.
Tests have found excellent turnover and presentation with this loop.
When landing fish, it slides through the rod guides more easily than the customary nail knot. Traditionalists can cut this loop off and not compromise the taper.
